    Ah, little Jasmine jumped right back into your good graces, I see. I'm glad you are keeping up with my alphabet kids. I know that the book will be better for your thoughtful reviews. - Wendy

And it's a multicultural book, too. Great! In this case, she's a poet. I suppose jump rope ditties are poems.

    I used to write poems while I jumped rope. I recall when the thought of it was fun. Now it just looks like an instrument of torture. And don't be broadcasting all about Johnny any more . . . Wendy

You changed the format? Very well done, easy to read with words a child can understand. Loved the light and lively way you gave this life. Nicely done

    Hi Barb, yes the poems are a polyglot of rhyme and rhythm schemes. I have never been accused of being consistent. I'm glad you liked the pace of this one. - Wendy

Lovely rhyme and rhythm, bouncy like the skipping beat your poem relates to. I love the name you use for the letter J, it is a catchy one, and I'm sure all who read this will love it. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

    I wrote an Alphabet series on here a year or two ago and published it. Mine are in rhyme, but for the older child, I added a page opposite the picture and rhyme in prose with more details on. I wish you lots of success with yours. :)

Very nice rhyming and cadence in this post for your book. Again artwork and word choices are excellent. Use of alliteration with the "j" words is fun and whimsical. Marilyn

Ah, that's what I've been doing wrong when writing poetry ... I haven't been skipping rope. :)

Such a delightful children's poem, Wendy, and a wonderful addition to your book! I can just picture Jasmine skipping and rhyming. I especially love your "slapping sound/touch the ground" rhyme. Thank you for sharing Jasmine's secret. - - Connie

And now, we are at J. Jasmine sounds like a wonderful little girl, and I could see her jumping rope as I read the words. The rhyme and the rhythm of the piece works well, and I was enchanted as I read. Thank you for sharing,

A great poem. I can hear the rhythm of jasmine's skipping rope in your poem. A lovely idea for a children's book, just like me. When she rolls those caught up words she made me smile back.

A very well-written poem about little Jasmine who writing poems and rhymes in her head while jumping with the rhythm of the skipping rope. A very productive girl and getting fit as well.
